Have you noticed lately that homes are flying off the market? Well, at least the ones that are priced right, are in good condition and are in a great location. I just described the three components that make up a great listing. I just listed another great listing today and all I can say is that it is going, going, gone! Well, almost! I have so many showings today and received an offer already.

I have always to told buyers that I work with that if you walk into a house and like it, make an offer. It could be the right one for you. I remember when my husband and I were looking at homes, we would know almost right away when we walked in a home if that was “the one”. It’s more of a feeling you get. You know the feeling, right? You walk in and it feels like home, like you’ve been there before or you could live there, You see yourself waking in the door everyday, cooking in the kitchen and just relaxing in the living room. I call it a feeling.

I also remember some homes we would walk into the front door and just want to walk back out. As a matter of fact, my husband did just that on one that we walked into. We walked into the foyer and he said, “no, not this one”. The sellers were home so I looked at the rest of the house out of courtesy but I knew exactly what he meant. It didn’t “feel” right.

When you know you know and you have to act on it before everyone else does. Once you lose one or more, you know what to do when another great listing is going, going, gone! Are you ready to have your great listing gone?
